I saw that this was briefly discussed in another thread, but i wanted to know more specifically about cardio on a rowing machine. My school has two fairly decent rowing machines in its gym, which I've been using for the past couple weeks, but I've mainly just been doing a quick Tabata-style workout before moving on to other things.

So, does anyone know of other effective workouts that can be done on the rowing machine?

I would have been civil about this, but you had to be a little pewse and take it personally.

I've never used a rowing machine but I gotta admit, they kinda look ****ing retarded.

hahaha the people at the gym have no idea what good technique is.

a good workout for the erg (ergometer) is a 1000 meters on 4 minutes off. your rates (top right of the screen that will be in double digits) will be around 26-30. it should take you around 3:20-4:20 minutes to do. then do it 4-5 times. watch a video on correct technique first

I have nothing to do with this from here on out.

Word, maybe Dave Tate will put that up alongside his bench-press cure video.

petlo, i challenge you to do that workout and tell me how it goes. i also want to know what your average splits are for each peice. if you do that, then you can rant all you want about how stupid the rowing machine is. deal?

I love the rowing machine. Only thing in the gym where I can really push myself cardio wise. Something about that distance counting down a little bit further with every row just pushes me harder. I don't have the patience to sit on any other machine for long, and I don't really have the patience to do 4 or 5 'sets' on it, either. I do know that I once cranked out 1000m in under 3:30 and pushed so hard to do it that I was blacking out and could barely walk afterwords.
